We took a walk Down by the stream today The stream we'd splash our feet in and get soaked When we were both young It had all dried up Not a drop to see Save for the salty tears splattering the rocks As they leapt from your cheeks It began to snow In the middle of spring I just sat there on the rock where we had kissed thinking "How fitting is that?" We just walked along The air devoid of words But the ma** of silent space that slid between us Spoke more than we could hope I guess I'm leavin' And you're stayin' here The truth is as simple as that But oh so hard to bear I got too accustomed To that sweet face
My only hope is that I'll see it again At some other time and place Now there's a lot of people here I don't like too much But I'll prove to them I'm more than just a dreamer And leave 'em in the dust And let me be honest I'm glad to be goin' But my greatest fear is that I'll forget how good you are Somewhere down the road And now I'm leavin' Hope you don't shed a tear Not a single thing in this world is perfect And that much is clear I think I've worn out Every part of this town But I swear I'll come back to see you Before I'm thrown into the ground I guess I'm leavin' x4
